OUR   PRESIDENTS. 


\    True  nobility  Is  derived  from  virtue,  not  from  birth.    Title  may  be  purchased,  but 
vhliit'  is  tlie  only  coin  that  makes  the  bartfaln  valid.— Burton. 


The  long  line  of  illustrious  men  who  have  held  the  exalted  position  of  Presi- 
^t  of  the  United  States  has  not  its  counterpart  in  the  world's  history.  Not 
"idlers  by  Divine  right"  but  by  the  will  of  the  people,— occasionally  not  by 
I  majority  of  the  popular  vote,  but,  by  the  majority  of  the  Tlectoral  College, 
ich  is  a  conception  of  the  early  Congress,  and,  while  we  perhaps  think  that 
tli|  majority  ought  to  rule,  yet  this  is  not  the  law,  and  we  are  a  wonderfully 
gi^  people  to  obey  the  law.  The  men  who  have  filled  these  exalted  positions 
oaiic  from  the  people, — some  had  wealth,  'tis  true,  others  came  from  the  farm 
other  humble  walks  of  life,  but  with  a  desire  to  serve  the  people  and  advance 
interests  of  the  Republic.  No  czars,  no  emperors,  no  kings  with  an  entailed 
session,  with  or  without  brains ;  no  blue  blood,  made  bluer  by  running  back 
barbarism,  but  good,  rich,  American  blood  that  thrills  the  very  soul. — inde- 
[dent,  honest,  Qod-fearing  men,  whose  counsels  have  carried  the  Republic 
)ugh  the  perils  of  birth  at  Bunker  Hill  and  Yorktown  and  Valley  Forge  until 
\&j  we  can  dictate  terms  of  peace  to  '^e  proudest  nations  on  the  globe. 
Tlie  19th  Century  to  Americans  is  most  important,  for  it  is  our  initial  cent- 
We  had  just  seen  the  light  of  day  iu  our  new  condition  when  1800  was 
ired  in.  The  declaration  had  gone  forth  to  be  free  but  the  experiment  was 
jto  be  tried.  When  the  bold,  determined  men  signed  the  Declaration  and  the 
Intiet  was  thrown  down  to  the  arrogant,  proud  Briton,  it  was  faith  i*t  God  and 
jder,  the  free  men  of  America  and  George  Washington  of  Virginia  that  in- 
[ed  our  forefathers  to  wondrous  deeds  of  valor  amid  great  sacrifices  and  a  holy 
^rmination  to  be  free.  Washington  was  called  by  his  countrymen  to  lead  the 
lies  of  the  young  republic  to  victory;  and,  as  they  marched  and  counter- 
:hed  and  suffered  for  country,  and  country  alone,  the  tide  of  battle  rolled 
the  sacrifices  and  the  life  blood  of  tiie  fathers  and  sons  hallowed  the 
ind  and  cleared  the  skiei  and  peace  wan  declared.  The  armies  disbanded 
i  the  modest  hero  bade  farewell  to  his  comrades  in  arms,  retiring  to  his  estate 
Tirginia  to  live  in  quietude  for  the  balance  of  his  life,  but  the  people  willed  it 
brwise,  and— 

[GEORGE  WASHINGTON,  the  First  President,  was  honored  by  a  two- 
service  from  1789  to  1797.  He  was  born  on  February  22, 1782,  near  Bridges 
Bk,   Va-,  and  inherited  large  landed   estates  from  his  father.    The  first 


election  occurred  in  January,  178).  The  two  houses  of  congress  had  been  crga 
ized  in  New  York  about  April  4,  1789,  although  March  4th  had  been  tL| 
appointed  time.    The  organization  of  the  goTernment  was  completed  on  Apr: 
80th.    The  President  and  Vice-President  John  Adams,  were  iworn  in  by  IIoi  j 
Robert  R.  Livingston,  chancellor  of  New  York,  in  the  gallery  of  the  old  ci; 
hall  in  Wall  street.    In  the  first  cabinet  were  Thomas  Jefferson,  secretary 
state;  Alexander  Hamilton,  secretary  of  the  treasury;  Henry  Knox,  secretary! 
war;  Edmund  Randolph,  attorney  general,  and    Samuel    (Osgood,  postmast 
general.    John  Jay  was  tne  first  chief  justice.    At  this  time  the  country  had 
debt  of  $80,000,000,— a  fabulous  sum  considering  the  country's  small  populali 
and  resources.    After  a  re-el&ction  of  Washington  and  John  Adams  for  a  seen: 
term,  the  cabinet  was  Timothy  Pickering,  secretary  of  state;  Oliver  Wolcc 
secretary  of  the  treasury;  James  McHenry,  secretary  of  war;  and  Charles  h 
attorney  general.    There  was  no  navy  at  this  time.    General  Washington  died 
Mount  Vernon,  Va. ,  December  14,  1799. 

JOHN   ADAMS,   Second   President,  was  born  at  Braintree,  Mass,, 
October  30, 1735.    In  early  life  he  was  a  school  teacher  and  had  ambition  to  ec;! 
the  army,  but  lacked  the  requisite  influence  to  accomplish  what  he  desired,  \ 
then  he  thought  of  theology,  but  finally  turned  his  attention  to  law  and 
admitted  to  the  bar.    He  married  Abigail  Smith  and  removed  to  Boston  in  17| 
On  the  organization  of  the  first  Continental  Congress,  which  met  in  Philadelpli 
in  1774,  he  was  one  of  the  five  members  to  represent  Massachusetts.    In  17771 
was  sent  as  minister  to  France,  where  he  remained  until  the  mid-summer  of  17?! 
when  he  returned  home  to  be  again  called  into  service,  and  in  October  oft 
same  year,  went  as  commissioner  to  Great  Britain.    He  remained  abroad  ut| 
1788,  when  he  returned  home  and  received  the  thanks  of  congress.    He' 
elected  President  and  inaugurated  at  Philadelphia  on  March  4,  1797,  in 
sixty  second  year  of  his  ag3.    As  Vice-President  he  opened  the  electoral  vJ 
and  declared  himself  Prssident  and  Thomas  Jefferson  Vice-President.  Duringf 
administration  the  seat  of  the  general  government  was  removed  to  the  Distii 
of  Columbia,  its  present  location.    Virginia  and  Maryland  had  ceded  ten  miij 
square  of  land  for  this  purpose.    His  cabinet  remained  about  as  General  Wa 
ington  had  left  it,  with  the  addition  of  the  navy  portfolio,  to  which  Benjaii 
Stoddard,  of  Pennsylvania  was  appointed.    General  Washington  died  during  t| 
Administration.    Mr.  Pickering  failing  to  be  in  accord  with  the  President 
"discharged  from  further  service  as  secretary  of  state."    Mr.  Adams  diedj 
July  4,  1826 


THOMAS  JEFFERSON,  the  Third  President,  was  born  in  Shadwj 
Va.,  on  April  2,  1743.    His  family  was  of  Welsh  ancestry  and  his  education* 
classical  order.    He  was  graduated  from  the  William  and  Mary  College' 
honors,  and  then  turned    Js  attention  to  law  and  soon  built  up  a  large  praotj 
In  1769  he  was  elected  m<.  mber  of  the  house  of  burgesses.    He  entered  the  an 
of  politics  deliberately,  for  the  benefit  of  his  fellow  men  and  not  to  enrich  I 
self,  except  in  contentment,  deeming  the  respect  and  consideration  of  bis  fellij 
of  far  greater  worth  than  riches.    He  married  on  January  1, 1772,  Mrs.  Ma 
Skelton,  a  childless  widow,  who,  upon  the  death  of  her  father  added  toj 
husband's  estate  50,000  acres  and  185  slaves.    On  June  20.  1775,  he  took  hisi| 


the  CoDtineDtal  Congress  in  Philadelphia,  and  on  the  snine  day  learned  and 

bprised  congress  of  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill.    The  die  was  cast  and  he  was 

bpointed  ^n  a  committee  to  draft  a  declaration,  which  has  become  an  immortal 

jument.  He  was  elected  President  and  Aaron  Burr  Vice-President  by  the  house 

representatives,  and  for  the  second  term  his  running  male  was  Mr,  George 

linton,  of  New  York ;  James  Madison  was  his  secretary  of  state.    During  his 

Bond  administration,  Georgia  ceded  100,000  square  miles  of  land  whicli  now 

rm  the  states  of  Alabama  and  Mississippi;    Louisiana  was  purchased  from 

lace;  Aaron  Burr  was  tried  for  treason;  the  slave  trade  was  abolished  and 

idge  Pictering  was  impeached.    Mr.  Jefferson  died  on  July  4,  1826. 

JAMES  MADISON,  the  Fourth  President,  was  born  in  Virginia.  March

the  outbreak  of  the  revolutionary  war  he  would  have  joined  the  army  but 

health  would  not  permit.    He  turned  his  attention  to  politics  and  the  affairs 

[the  country  became  of  great  interest  to  him.    He  and  Mr.  Jefferson  met  for 

first  time  on  Octol)er  7,  1776,  at  the  first  session  of  the  independent  legislative 

jmbly  of  Virginia,  where  he  was  one  of  the  delegates  to  represent  the  state  in 

congress  of  the  confederation.    His  abilities  were  recognized,  and  he  was 

ced  on  most  important  committees.    He  was  secretary  of  state  under  Jefferson 

1801,  and  took  an  active  part  in  the  negotiations  then  pending  with  foreign

Ktary  of  war.    He  was  the  author  of  the  famous  Monroe  doctrine.    In  his 

^age  he  declared  :    "  As  a  principle,  the  American  continents,  by  the  free 


and  independeat  positions  which  they  have  assumed  and  maintained,  are  henci 
furth  not  to  be  considered  as  subjects  for  future  colonization  by  any  Europeai 
power."  At  the  expiration  of  his  second  term  as  President,  in  1825,  he  retired  t 
his  estate  at  Oak  Hill.  Va. ,  and  was  soon  chosen  as  justice  of  the  peace.  His  IE 
health  compelled  him  to  relinquish  all  political  cares  and  to  decline  further  honon 
He  was  not  a  thrifty  man,  for  in  his  old  age  he  was  much  harrassed  by  debt.  M 
Monroe  died  at  the  residence  of  his  son-in-law  in  New  York  City  on  July  4,  183: 
but  in  1858  his  remains  were  removed  to  Richmond,  Va.,  amid  universal  reve

ANDREW  JACKSON,  the  Seventh  President,  was  born  in  the  distrl 

on  the  borders  of  North  and  South  Carolina,  known  as  the  Waxhaw  Settlemeij 
on  March  15,  1T67.    In  early  life  he  was  a  teacher,  and  was  given  to  all  ecrtsl 
sports.    He  was  an  expert  duellist,  and  fought  one  in  1795,  and  again  in  i^ 
when  he  killed  his  antagonist,  Charles  Dickenson.    He  commenced  practic| 
law  In  Nashville,  Tenn.,  in  1788,  was  elected  to  congress  In  1796,  heard  Wa 
ington  deliver  bin  last  message,  and  in  1797  went  to  the  senate.    He  was  irrit^ 
as  a  senator,  for  the  body  was  too  slow  and  deliberate  for  one  of  his  fiery  teinfl 
The  historian  says:  *'Hewas  desperately  in  debt,  and  sold  his  estate  of  25f 
acres  to  liquidate."    He  then  removed  with  his  negroes  to  "The  Hermitage,  "i 
settled,   as  he  supposed,  for  the  balance  of  his  life ;  but  events  changed  | 
purpose. 

The  War  of  1813  broke  out,  and  he  tendered  his  services  and  that  of  2.1 
men,  which  were  accepted,  and  he  was  ordered  to  New  Orleans,  January  7.  I3 
He  did  not  arrive  there,  however,  owing  to  some  misunderstanding,  andj 


iarched  the  troops  back,  when  they  were  mustered  out.   It  was  on  this  march  that 

was  dubbed  "Old  Hickory,"  and  the  name  clung  to  him  for  the  balance  of  his 

e.    He  participated  in  some  of  the  Indian  wars,  and  again  was  ordered  to  Nev' 

Irleans  to  face  the  "  red  coats."    Upon  his  arrival  he  commenced  to  fortify. 

ith  cotton  bales  and  earth,  on  December  251, 1814.   The  British  fleet  of  fifty  ships, 

itb  1,000  guns  and  20,000  veterans,  were  anchored  below  the  city.    General  Jack- 

^n,  with  only  2,000  men  on  the  ground  and  4,000  somewhere  en  route,  nothing 

tunted.  threw  down  the  gauntlet  for  John  Bull  to  pick  up.    On  New  Year's 

|ky  of  1815,  the  British  began  to  bombard  his  works  of  earth  and  cotton,  and, 

|ter  the  commanding  general  thought  "  Old  Hickory"  and  his  recruits  were  about 

■ready  to  cry  quits,"  an  assault  was  ordered,  which  resulted  in  a  loss  of  700 

piled,  1,400  wounded  and  000  prisoners  to  the  British,  while  Jackson's  loss  was 

fht  killed  and  thirteen  wounded.    The  assault  occurred  just  before  dawn,  but 

^e  defeat  was  most  overwhelming.    This  was  the  last  battle  of  the  war.    The 

eaty  of  peace  had  already  been  signed  at  Qhent  on  December  24,  1814,  but  tbe 

^ws  did  not  reach  Washington  until  February  14,  1815. 

General  Jackson  was  twice  elected  President,  commencing  on  March  4,  1829, 
Id  ending  March  4,  1837.  John  C.  Calhoun  was  Vice  President  the  first  term,

rtnership  with  Benjamin  F.   Butler,  of  New  York,  and  became,  also,  regent 
[the  State  University.    In  1821  he  was  elected  to  the  United  Stntes  senate  and 
:ame  governor  of  New  York,  in  1827,  resigning  from  the  senate  for  that  pur- 
President  Jackson  made  him  his  secretary  of  state,  and  in  June,  1831,  ap- 
^nted  him  as  Minister  to  England,  but  he  was  not  confirmed.     He  was  elec- 
to  the  presidency  with  Richard  M.  Johnson,  of  Kentucky,  as  Vice-President 
inaugurated  on  March  4,  1837.     His  cabinet  was  composed  of  Johri  Forsyth,

lored  and  respected.    His  wife  died  in  New  York  City,  on  December  29,  1878. 


WILLIAM  HENRT  HARRISON,  the  Ninth  President,  was  born  in 
tkeley,  Va.,  February  9, 1773.  When  Washington  became  President  he  was  but 
Ken  yerrs  of  age.  Education  was  not  so  easily  obtained  then  as  now,  and 
|ian  border  troubles  attracted  the  attention  of  young  Harrison,  so  he  entered 
larmy.  He  was  commissioned  as  an  ensigu  in  April,  1791,  and  assigned  to  the 
jllery.  His  j^uthful  appearance  attracted  the  attention  of  his  superiors,  but 
Idetermination  brought  him  to  the  front,  and  he  was  advanced  and  placed  up- 
}he  staff  of  Gk^neral  Anthony  Wayne,  who  complimented  him  in  orders,  for 
[bravery.    In  1795  he  was  a  captain  of  artillery  and  in  1800  President  Adams 

minted  him  governor  of  the  new  territory  of  Indiana,  an  immense  domain, 


from  which  the  States  of  Indiana,  Illtnois,  WisconAlnand  Michigan  were  fornieq

but,  was  Indian  and  land  commissioner,  legislator  and  law  giver,  and  held  tl 
pardoning  power.  It  was  wonderful  authority,  but  he  was  a  wonderful  mac 
and  dealt  fearlessly  and  equitably  with  all.  Tecum«eh,  the  noted  Indian  Chit' 
w&s  a  disturber  of  the  peace  and  assembled  with  one  thousand  warriors  at  Tippi 
cauoe,  Indiana,  to  dispute  the  authority  of  Governor  Harrison.  The  gauntlt 
thrown  down  by  this  imperious,  proud  warrior  was  accepted  by  the  general,  an 
he  advanced  upon  them,  and,  when  near  the  town  was  severely  set  upon  by  \l 
savages,  who  were  defeated.  The  War  of  1812  provoked  the  Indians  to  a  genen 
uprising,  and  General  Harrison  was  appealed  to  by  Kentucky,  whose  Governi 
commissioned  him  as  major  general  of  State  troops.  The  President  in  the  meat 
time  had  made  him  a  brigadier  general  in  the  regular  army  where  he  did  sue 
signal  service  that  his  countrymen  wishing  to  still  further  honor  him,  his  parr 
nominated  him  for  the  Presidency.  He  was  elected  and  with  bim  John  Tylen.

mond  against  the  English.     Politically  he  was  opposed  to  slavery,  and,  on  t:| 
"compromise  bill"  admitting  Missouri  without  restriction,  he  voted  in  the  nej

of  Virginia.    After  leaving  the  White  House  Mr.  Tyler  returned  to  "  Sherw 
Forest,"  where  he  dwelt  for  the  remainder  of  his  life.    He  retired  from  politj

JAMES  K.  POLK,  the  Elorenth  President,  was  bori  in  Mecklenburg. 
lortb  C-Tolina,  on  November  2,  1795.    He  was  of  Scotch-Irish  parentage  and 
father  was  a  captain  in  the  War  of  the  Revolution.    He  at  one  time  worked 
a  country  store,  but  his  taste  was  not  in  that  direction,  so  he  turned  his  atten- 
)n  to  law,  and  in  order  lo  educate  his  son  the  father  made  a  great  sacrifice;  but 
was  repaid  in  future  years  by  seeing  the  son  honortdby  the  Nation.  Mr.  Polk 
Irned  to  politics  and  in  1823  was  elected  to  the  house  of  representatives,  returned 
1834,  and  was  elected  to  congress  in  1825,  and  re-elected  until  1839,  when  he 
kcame  governor  of  Tennessee.    He  was  a  free  trader,  an  advocate  for  the  exten- 
)n  of  slavery,  and  advised  the  annexation  of  Texas.    He  was  elected  speaker 
the  house  of  representatives  in  1835,  and  so  remained  for  four  years.    In  1839 
decided  not  to  become  candidate  for  another  congressional  term,  but  was  a 
[ndidate  for  governor— had  a  vigorous  canvass  and  was  elected.    In  18^1  he 
is  again  a  candidate  for  governor,  but  was  defeated  by  the  whigs.    He  was 
|augurated  as  President  and  George  M.  Dallas  as  Vice  President  on  March  4, 
15.    He  received  175  votes  of  the  electoral  college,  as  against  105  for  Cassius 
Clay.    His  cabinet  was  composed  of  James  Buchanan,  of  Pennsylvania; 
)bert  J.  Walker,  of  Mississippi;  William  M.  Marcy,  of  New  York;  Cave  John- 
In,  of  Tennessee,  and  John  Y.  Mason,  of  Virginia.    These  were  all  able  men. 
[r.  Calhoun,  as  secretary  of  state  in  the  preceding  administration,  had  signed  a 
BHty  of  annexation  with  Texas  on  April  12.  1844,  which  was  approved  by  con- 
sss  on  March  1,  1845,  and  the  following  day  signed  by  Mr.  Tyler. 
The  Mexican  government  issued  a  proclamation  denouncing  the  annexation  act 
Id  called  upon  the  people  to  rally  in  defense  of  their  country,  but  did  not  declare 
iT.    General  Taylor  was  sent  with  an  army  "to  assert  the  old  French  claim, — 
rights  given  to  Texas  by  Santa  Anna  and  the  new  title  of  the  United  States." 
May  7.  1846,  the  Mexican  troops  first  opened  fire  on  General  Taylor  at  Palo 
|to,  and  the  Mexican  war  opened,  when  50,000  men  were  called  for. 
The  campaigns  were  vigorously  prosecuted  by  Generals  Scott  and  Taylor, 
City  of  Mexico  was  captured  and  our  troops  continued  in  possession  of  the 
iniry.    Finally  terms  were  agreed  upon — Texfifi,  New  Mexico,  Arizona  and 
Jliforuia  were  made  the  property  of  the  United  States  upon  the  payment  of 
>, 000,000.    The  treaty  signed  in  Mexico  on  February  2,  1848,  was  sanctioned 
[congress  on  March  10,  and  the  Mexican  war  ended. 
Mr.  Polk's  political  career  was  a  most  remarkable  one.    His  administration 
filled  with  momentous  questions  that  called  forth  his  best  qualities,  and  he 
lid  have  been  re-nominated  but  declined,  and  upon  the  close  of  his  term 
Ired  to  private  life,  to  nurse  back  his  impaired  vitality,  which  had  been  over 
ted  by  the  cares  of  office.    He  died  at  Nashville,  Tenn.,  Jv.ne  15,  1849.

He  was  denounced,  burned  in  efflgy,  and  threatened  with  lynching,  all  of  j

^rm,  and  got  a  common  school  education,  and  in  1830  went  to  West  Point,  where 

did  not  particularly  distinguish  himself  for  brilliancy  of  intellect.    He  was 

jilled    "Uncle  8am"  Qrant,  and   "United  States"  Grant,   but  later  in  life 

jUn conditional  Surrender "  Grant.    He  graduated  from  West  Point  in  1843, 

las  commissioned  as  second-lieutenant  ii!  1846,  on  the  eve  of  the  Mexican  war, 

[rough  which  he  served,  and  for  gallantry  was  promoted  to  captain.    He 

Bigned  in  1854  and  retired  to  a  small  farm  near  St..  Louis,  where  he  sought  to 

^in  a  livelihood,  but  it  was  not  to  his  taste.    He  went  to  Galena,  and  was  there 

len  the  war  broke  out  that,  before  its  close,  made  him  the  most  famous  general 

I  history.    General  Grant  was  inaugurated  as  President  and  Schuyler  Colfax  as

At  the  end  of  his  second  term  President  Grant  made  a  tour  of  the  world,  and 

lured  more  honors  from  the  rulers  and  nobility  of  Europe  and  Asia  than  any 

)er  man  in  history.    His  sickness,  suffering  and  heroism  in  his  last  days  were 

Bt  pathetic,  and  so  long  as  history  is  written  and  the  centuries  roll  round,  and 

|>ple  moulder  into  dust,  so  long  will  the  name  of  Grant  be  enshrined  in  the 

yets  of  his  countrymen.

lin  F.  Tracey,   John  Wanamaker,  John  W.  Noble,  W.   H.   H.  Miller  and 

^h  Rusk. 

ith  is  no  respecter  of  persons  or  places,  and  Mrs.  Harrison,  the  first  lady 
ind,  the  President's  wife,  died  at  the  White  House  or*  October  25,  1892. 
^e  expiration  of  his  term  as  President,  General  Harrison  retired  to  his 
Indianapolis,  Ind.,  and  resumed  his  law  practice.     He  is  married  for  the 


second  time,  is  hale  and  hearty,  and  we  hope  will  live  long  to  advise  and  giv] 
benefit  of  his  experience  for  the  betterment  of  our  common  country. 


WILLIAM  M'KINLEY,  the  Twenty-fourth  President, vas  bom  in! 

Ohio,  on  February  26,  1844.  He  attended  the  public  schools  until  the  breJ 
out  of  the  war  in  1861,  when  he  enlisted  as  a  private  in  the  23d  Ohio  Volur.J 
and  served  with  distinction  until  the  close  of  the  war,  when  he  was  musterej 
as  major.  After  returning  home  he  studied  law,  and  was  in  receipt  of  aj 
and  lucrative  practice  at  the  time  of  his  election.  Politics  claimed  his  attea 
and  he  was  elected  to  Congress,  and  served  in  the  Forty-fifth,  FortyJ 
Forty  seventh,  Forty-eighth,  Forty-ninth  and  Fiftieth  congresses,  and  wl 
authoi  of  the  celebrated  McKinley  bill  that  has  made  his  name  a  houselu)ii;| 
in  all  the  civilized  world. 

Major  McKinley  was  elected  President,  and  was  inaugurated,  with  GJ 
A.  Hobart,  of  New  Jersey,  as  Vice-President,  on  March  4,  1897.  The  nieJ 
of  his  cabinet  are  as  follows  :  John  Sherman,  secretary  of  state  ;  Rus.J 
Alger,  secretary  of  war  ;  Cornelius  N.  Bliss,  secretary  of  the  interior ;  | 
McKenna,  attorney-general :  John  D.  Long,  secretary  of  the  navy  ;  Lyr| 
Gage,  secretary  of  the  treasury  ;  James  Wilson,  secretary  of  agriculture; 
A.  Gary,  postmaster-general.  Attorney-general  McKenna  was  promotd 
justice  of  the  Supreme  Court.  President  McKinley,  the  first  man  in  tlicj 
world,  will  not  disappoint  the  Nation,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  jingoes  arl 
headed  political  demagogues  will  enlist  for  the  war  they  want  him  to  decLJ 
get  out  of  the  way. 

No  President  since  Abraham  Lincoln's  time   has  had  so  grave  a  queJ 
rattle  as  has  ^resident  McKinley.     The   irresponsibles  propose   measures^ 
are  secondea  by  a  lot  of  cheap  office-seeking   politicians,  who  think   they 
the  President,  and  who  know  more  (?)than  he  dares  to  claim.     This  Cuba:i 
tion  was  the   president's   inheritance;  and,  having   fallen  heir  to  it,  he  wi! 
the  assistance  of  his  coadjutors  in  office — Alger  of  the  Army,  Long  of  thel 
and  Gage  of  the  Treasury,  to  furnish  the  sinews,  hold  the  •'  dogs  of  war"  ia 
until  the  propitious  moment  arrives,  and  then  the  haughty  Dons  will  releaij 
hold  and  Cuba  will  be  free. 

It  is  a  serious  thing  to  mvolve  a  nation  in  war,  and  none  know  it  bettl 
do  those  who  have  followed  our  ship  of  state   through  four  years  of  strifej 
President  himself  served  more  than  his  full  term,  and  he  and  General  A!| 
war  secretary,  with  an   exj  erience  of   four  years  and   sixty  odd   batt!j 
advocate   peace  if  it  can   be  honorably  done.     No  fault-finding  from  sorj 
partisans  and  jingoes  at  home,  nor  howls  and   threats  from  nations  abrcj 
change  the  minds  of  the  President  and  his  cabinet,  who  hold  the  key  to  ttj 
tion.     But  if  war  it  must  be,  let  it  be  a  war  so  swift  and   so  terrible,  tha 
generations  will  pause  and  pray,  and  plan  and  legislate   for  a  general 
ment  of  nations,  and  an  international  congress    to  arbitrate  and  settle  g| 
grave  ques^'ons  peacefully,  as  Christian  natioris  should. 


Ty  aon,  if  sinners  entice  thee, 
tent  thou  not.—Prov.  1-10. 


1800 


Wisdom  is  better  than  rubies, 

-Prov.  8-11.

The  "grog"  ration  was  abolished  in   1863,  and  since  then  the  crew  liasbcr 
forbidden  to  drink  while  on  duty. 

Marines   are   the   police  on  board  ship.     Originally    they  were  employed t 
prevent  mutiny  among  the  sailors. 

The  guns  of  a  battleship  can  carry  from    six  to   twelve  miles,  hurlini;  a  sh 
weighing  half  a  ton. 

Behind  the  heavy  armor  there  is  a  padding   of  eitlier    corn  pith  or  coc(i| 
husks. 

It  costs  !|5oo  every  time  one  of  the  big  guns  on  board  a  ship  is  fired. 

Sailors  are  paid  from  f().5o  to  $12.50  per  month  and  board. 

An  act  of  congress  in  1S72  abolished  flogging  in  the  navy. 

The  American  navy  has  practically  all  been  built  since  i88j. 

A  captain  in  the  navy  ranks  with  a  colonel  in  the  army. 

The  oldest  iron  vessel  is  the  Michigan,  built  in  1844. 

Five  battleships  are  now  under  construction. 

The  ships  are  painted  white,  except  in  time  of  war,  when  they  are  green. 

Barnacles  form  on  the  hull  of  a  ship,  impeding  its  speed.  Six  months'  rruisl 
will  decrease  the  speed  of  a  ship  15  per  cent.,  and  it  must  go  into  dry  dock. 

Sixty-one  merchant  vessels  belong  to  the  auxiliary  navy.     These  ships ar| 
subsidized,  and  by  contract  must  be  given  to  the  United  States  on  demand. 

Some  of  the  guns  in    the  navy  can  fire  a  shot  twelve  miles,   farther  th3:| 
a  man  can  see,  for  the  guns  are  aimed  and  sighted  by  machinery. 

Five  hundred  and  twenty-six  men  and  forty  officers    are    required  to  ir.:J 
the  cruiser  New  York. 

Battleships  afe  covered    with   armor    of  nickel    steel    from    five    to   seve 
inches  thick.        (' 

We    have    six    aHiioi-ed    battleships — the    Indiana,     Iowa,     Massachuseii| 
Texas,  Kearsage  and   Kentucky. 

A  submarine    torpedo    boat,  to  be  known    as    the  Plunger,  is  now  undfj 
construction. 

Projectiles  thrown  by  naval  guns  are  shaped  much  as  the  bullets  shot  :j 
the  ordinary  rifle. 

A  big  battleship  has  on  board  an  electric  plant  capable  of  lighting  a  to'| 
of  5,000  inhabitants. 

The  boilers  of  the  Iowa  have  a   heating  surface  of    eight  acres,  and 
thirty-two  tons  of  water. 

The  Kearsarge  and  Kentucky  have  just  been  added  to  our  fleet  of  ba!t!| 
ships.

Our  battleships  have  a  speed  of  from  fifteen  to  seventeen  knots  an  hour. 
Risers  make    ninete'>n   to  twenty-four  knots,  while   the  monitors  can  travel 

five  to  seven  knots. 
The  biggest  guns  in  the  navy  are  forty-nine  feet  long,  big  enough   for   a 

to  crawl   into;    four  feet  in   diameter   at  their  largest    part,    and   weigh 
I500  pounds  or  thereabouts. 

1  In  a  battle  at  sea  the  woodwork  and  all  articles  of  wood  are  either  stowed 
bw  or  thrown  overboard  lest  the  men  be  injured  by  splinters. 
[The  origin  of  the  navy  department  may  be  said  to  date  from  October  13, 
j,  when  congress  authorized  the  equipment  of  two  cruisers. 
The  fastest  vessels  in  the  navy  are  the  torpedo  boats  Porter  and  Dupont, 
i  of  which  ran  travel  27.5  knots  an  hour. 

(Battleships  cost  from  $2,500,000  to  $3,750,000,  and  cruisers  from  $600,000 
13,000,000.     A  good  torpedo  boat  costs  over  )(ioo,ooo. 

[Battleships  are  for  heavy  work;  cruisers  are  commerce  destroyers;  monitors 
juseful  only  for  coast  defense. 
iThe  Indiana  could  lie  outside   Sandy  Hook   and  throw  1,200-pound   shots 

New  York  at  the  rate  of  four  a  minute. 

Those  artists  who  show  smoke  in  their  pictures  of  naval  battles  are  wholly 
^g.     Smokeless  powder  is  used. 

Ul  of  the  cruisers  are  named  in  honor  of  cities,  and  the  battleships,  except 

Learsarge,  in  honor  of  states.

George  W.  Vanderbilt's  estate  at  Biltmore,  N.  C,  is  probably  the  largesij 
its  kind  in  the  world.     It  contains  100,000  acres,  and  is  under  scientific  kj 
vation.     Landscape  gardening  is  an   art  with  him,  and   German,  Engi:^ 
French,  It;   ian   and  American   florists  and  giardeners  of  high   degree 
employed    )  make  this  place  the  most  beautiful  in  the  world.     His  handsoi 
villa  embraces  wealth,  elegance, comfort  and  convenience,  and  the  works oi(^ 
to  be  found  within  its  walls  are  from  the  world  at  large.    The  estate  is  ant 
cator  and  is  not  maintained  to  flatter  the  pride,  the  appetite  or  the  vanii 
the  owner.     Nearly  one  thousand  persons  are  employed,  and  ihey  are  sail 
fied  to  live  in  America,  to  work  for  an  American,  and  to  be  paid  in  Amerir 
gold.

"And  the   flag!     God   bless   the    flag  I     As   the  heart  of   McCallum  More 
firmed  to  the  tartan,  do  all  hearts   warm  to    the  flag !     Have  you   upon   your 
unds  of  sight-seeing  missed  It  hereabouts?     Does  it  make  itself  on  any  hand 
nspicuous  by  its  absence?      Can    you  doubt  the   loyal   sincerity  of  those  who 
pm  house  lop  and   roof -tree  have   thrown  it   to  the  breeze  ?     Let  some  sacri 
tious  hand  be  raised  to  haul  it  down,  and  see  !      No,  no,  comrades,  the  people 
[masse  do  not  deal  in  subterfuges;    they  do  not  stoop  to  conquer;  they  may  be 
ttng;  they  may  be  perverse,  but  they  never  dissemble.     These  are  honest  flags 
honest  hearts   behind   them.     They  are  the  symbols  of   a  nationality  as 
pcious  to  us  as  to  you.     They  fly  at  last  as  Webster  would  have  them  fly.  bear- 
;  no  such  mottoes  as    'What  is  all  this   worth?"  or   'Liberty  first  and  Union 
erward,'  but  blazing  in  letters  of  living  light  upon   their  ample  folds,  as  they 
^t  over  the  sea  and  over  the  land,  those  words  dear  to  every  American  heart : 
nion  and  liberty,  now  and  forever,  one  and  inseparable.*  "

Kew  York,  February  17,  Miss  Frances  E.  Willard  died  at  the  Empire  Hotel  at 
midnight  on  the  17th.  Miss  Willard  was  the  •'  Uncrowned  Queen  of 
America;"  she  was  an  American  by  birth,  but  belonged  to  the  World.  In 
early  life  she  lived  on  a  farm,  an^  loved  the  country  home  and  countjy 
manners;  did  not  attend  school  until  fourteen  years  of  age,  yet,  with  a  mind 
receptive  to  all  that  was  sensible  and  good,  she  became  a  ripe  scholar  and  a 
profound  thinker,  an  organizer  and  a  safe  leader.  She  stood  a  peer  among 
the  great  educators  in  America,  and  a  stalwart  in  her  life  work — purity  and 
sobriety.  Frances  Willard  goes  down  to  future  generations  as  a  martyr,  and 
'tis  well.  The  great  cause  for  which  she  labored  and  died  needed  such  a 
sacrifice  to  stimulate  her  co-laborers  to  greater  work  in  this  part  of  the  Mas- 
ter's vineyard.  She  died  on  the  battlefield  of  temperance  and  purity  with 
her  face  towards  the  enemy,  and,  it  is  fitting  that  a  monument  be  erected  to 
her  memory,  to  commemorate  her  many  hard  struggles  and  self-sacrificing 
devotion  to  a  work  honored  of  God.  "The  Temple,"  built  and  burdened 
with  debt,  should  be  re-dedicated  and  redeemed.  Let  "Willard  Temple  free 
from  debt,"  from  this  on,  be  the  "war  cry"  of  all  the  ribboners — the  Red, 
White  and  Blue — and  before  the  nineteenth  century  goes  out  the  temperance 
people  can,  with  a  just  pride,  point  to  a  beautiful  and  enduring  monument, 
erected  to  the  memory  of  the  world's  greatest  temperance  advocate  and 
leader— Frances  E.  Willard. 

New  York,  February  28,  "I  am  for  war,  if  war  is  declared,  not  only  as  an  Ameri-

ation  from  the  men  who  fought  for  their  convictions  in  our  civil  war;  and  ttiose  gram  I 
men  of  our  civil  war  bad  heard  of  the  revolutionary  heroes  and  were  proud  to  emulate 
their  deeds  of  patriotic  valor  ;  but  the  men  of  the  revolution  had  inherited  the  spirit 
of  the  pilgrim  fathers  and  were  determi^^ed  to  prove  themselves  worthy  of  their  noble  I 
sires;  the  pilgrims  had  the  mantels  of  the  reformers  resting  upon  their  broad  her- 
culean shoulders;  and  the  reformers  remeri^bered  with  reverence  the  martyrs;  and  tiiel

iThe  greatest  sea  fight  known  in  the  history  of  the  world  was  fought  on  Sunday, 
July  3rd,  off  the  harbor  at  Santiago,  between  the  American  fleet,  Admiral 
Sampson,  and  the  Spanish  fleet,  Admiral  Cervera.  The  results  astonish 
the  world.  The  American  yet  sails,  the  pride  of  the  nation;  the  Spanish, 
annihilated,  rests  on  the  bottom  of  the  Carribean  Sea.  Capt.  Evans,  whose 
good  ship  Iowa  was  thefirsttospy  the  Spanish  Admiral  stealing  away,  says: 

"  I  was  sitting  in  my  cabin  talking  to  my  son,  who  was  a  cadet  on  the  Massachu- 
setts, but  who  had  been  left  behind  in  a  picket  launch  when  his  ship  went  up  the 
bay  to  coal.  Some  one  shouted :  '  What's  that  black  thing  coming  out  of  the  harbor?' 
A  moment  later  the  Iowa  was  at  general  quarters  and  the  engine  bell  rang  full  speed 
ahead.  I  put  the  helm  t(  starboard  anr*.  the  Iowa  crossed  the  bows  of  the  Infanta 
Maria  Teresa,  the  first  ship  ou-.  As  t'^e  Spanish  Admiral  swung  to  the  westward  the 
twelve-inch  shells  from  the  forward  .arret  of  the  Iowa  seemed  to  strike  him  fair  in 
the  bow,  and  the  fig^^t  was  a  spectacle. 

"  It  was  a  euptro  sight  to  see  the  squadron  come  out — beautifully  spaced  as  to 
distance  and  gradually  increasing  its  speed  to  thirteen  knots. 

"  The  Iowa  from  this  moment  kept  up  a  steady  fire  from  its  heavy  guns, heaJing 
all  the  time  to  keep  the  Infanta  Maria  Teresa  on  its  starboard  bow,  and  hoping  to 
ram  one  of  the  leading  ships. 

''In  the  meantime  the  Oregon,  Indiana,  Brooklyn  and  Texas  were  doing  excel- 
lent work  with  thoir  heavy  guns .  In  a  short  time  the  enemy's  ships  were  all  clear  of 
the  harbor  mouth,  and  it  became  evidently  impossible  for  the  Iowa  to  ram  either  the 
first  or  the  second  ships  on  account  of  their  speed. 

"The  range  at  this  time  was  2,000  yards  from  the  leading  ships.  The  Iowa's 
helm  was  immediately  put  hard  to  the  starboard,  and  the  entire  starboard  broadside 
was  poured  into  the  Infanta  Maria  Teresa.  The  helm  was  then  quickly  shifted  to 
port,  and  the  ship  went  cross  the  stern  of  the  Teresa  in  an  effort  to  head  off  the 
Oquendo.    All  the  time  the  engines  were  driving  at  full  speed  ahead,  while  a  per-

"  The  (JriHtobal  Colon,  belni;  mnrh  fanter  than  the  rest  of  the  Spanisli  h|ii|j. 
went  rapidly  to  the  front  in  an  otTort  to  escape,  and  in  paHsing  the  lowu  tin^ 
<Jolon  placed  two  six-inch  shells  fairly  in  uur  starboard  bow.  One  passed  tlin<ii|>|, 
the  cotTerdam  and  dispensary,  wrecking;  tlie  latter  and  burstin^f  on  the  bertlidfck, 
doin(7  considerable  dama(?e.  Thu  other  passed  througli  the  side  at  the  water  line 
within  the  cofferdam,  where  it  Btill  remains. 

"  As  it  was  now  obviously  impos-^ible  to  ram  any  of  the  Spanish  shipH,  on  at • 
count  of  their  superior  speed,  the  luwu's  helm  was  put  to  the  starboard,  and  she  ran 
on  a  course  parallel  with  the  enemy.  Bein^  then  abreast  of  the  Alnin-ante  Ociuciido 
at  a  distance  of  1,1()0  yards,  the  Iowa's  entire  battery,  including  the  rapid-tiif  (r,)„, 
was  opened  on  the  Oquendo.  The  punishment  was  terrlttc.  Many  twelve  and  eijfht! 
inch  shells  were  seen  to  explode  inside  of  her,  and  smoke  came  throuffh  her  liatclies, 
The  0<|uendo  seemed  to  stop  her  en^rincs  for  a  moment  and  lost  headway;  Imt  sh.. 
immediately  resumed  her  speed  and  gradually  drew  ahead  of  the  Iowa  and  came 
under  the  terrific  fire  of  the  Oregon  and  Texas. 

"At  this  moment  the  alarm  of  'Torpedo  boats'  was  sounded,  and  two  tcirpeiin 
boat  destroyers  were  discovered  in  tlie  starboard  quarter  ut  a  distance  oi  4,111111 
yards.  Fire  was  at  once  opened  on  them  with  the  after  battery,  and  a  twelvelniii 
shell  cut  the  stern  of  one  destroyer  squarely  ofT.  As  the  shell  struck  a  small  torptiln 
boat  fired  back  at  the  battleship,  sending  a  shell  within  a  few  feet  of  my  heml.  I  sait 
to  Executive  OfHcer  Rogers:  'That  little  diap  has  got  a  lot  of  cheek.'  Ro^.'er^ 
shouted  back:    'She  shoots  very  well,  all  the  same.* 

*•  Well  up  among  the  advancing  cruisers,  spitting  shots  atone  and  then  anotlier 
was  the  little  Gloucester,  shooting  first  jit  a  cruiser,  then  at  a  torpedo  boat.  aiHJlit 
ting  a  head  wherever  she  saw  it.  The  marvel  was  iliat  she  was  not  destroyed  by  the 
rain  of  shells.  In  the  meantime  the  Vizcaya  was  slowly  drawing  abeam  of  tlie 
Iowa,  and  for  the  space  of  fifteen  minutes  it  was  give  and  take  between  the  two 
ships.  The  Vlzcaya  fired  rap.  Jly,  but  wildly,  not  one  shot  taking  effect  on  the  Idua, 
while  the  shells  from  the  Iowa  were  tearing  great  rents  in  the  sides  of  the  Vlzcaya! 
As  the  latter  passed  ahead  of  the  Iowa  she  came  under  the  mxirderous  the  of  the 
Oregon.  At  this  time  the  Infanta  Maria  Teresa  and  the  Almlrante  Oquendo,  leading 
the  enemy's  column,  were  seen  to  be  beading  for  the  beach  In  flames.  The  Texas, 
Oregon  and  Iowa  pounded  them  unmercifully.  They  ceased  to  reply  to  the  tire,  ami 
in  a  few  moments  the  Spanish  eruistrs  were  a  mass  of  flames  and  on  the  rocks  with 
their  colors  down,  the  Teresa  flying  a  white  flag  at  the  fore. 

'•  The  crews  of  the  enemy's  ships,  stripped,  began  jumping  overboard,  when  one 
of  the  smaller  magazines  began  to  explode. 

"  Meantime  the  Brooklyn  and  the  Cristobal  Colon  were  exchanging  compliments 
in  lively  fashion  at  apparently  long  range,  and  the  Oregon,  with  her  locomotive 
speed,  was  hanging  well  on  the  Colon,  also  paying  attention  to  the  Vlzcaya.  The  I 
Teresa  and  the  Oquendo  were  In  flames  on  the  beach  just  twenty  minutes  after  the 
first  shot  was  fired.  Fifty  minutes  after  the  first  shot  was  fired  the  Vlzcaya  put  her 
helm  to  port,  with  a  great  burst  of  flame  from  the  after  part  of  the  ship,  and  headed  | 
slowly  for  the  rocks  at  Aeceraderes,  where  she  found  her  last  resting  place. 

"  As  it  was  apparent  that  the  Iowa  could  not  possibly  catch  the  Cristobal  Colon,  I 
and  that  the  Oregon  and  Brooklyn  undoubtedly  would,  and  as  the  fast  New  York  was  | 
also  on  her  trail, I  decided  that  the  calls  of  humanity  should  be  answered  and  atten 
tlon  was  given  to  1,200  or  1,500  Spanish  oflicers  and  men  who  had  struck  their  oolorsto  | 
the  American  squadron  commanded  by  Admiral  Samps(m.     I  therefore  headed  for  the 
wreck  of  the  Vlzcaya,  now  burning  furiously  fore   and  aft.    When  I  was  In  as  far  as  I 
the  depth  of  water  would  admit   I  lowered  all  my  boats  and  sent  them  at  once  to  the 
assistance  of  th^  unfortunate  men,  who  were  being  drowned  by  dozens  or  roasted  on 
the  decks.    I  soon  discovered  that  the  insurgent  Cubans  from  the  shore  were  shootlDf  | 
men  who  were  struggling  in  the  water,  after  having  surrendered  to  us.    I  Immediately 
put  a  stop  to  this,  but  I  could  not  put  a  stop  to  the  mutilation  of  miiny  bodies  by  tlie  I 
sharks  inside  the  reef.    These  creatures  had  become  excited  by  the  blood  from  the  | 
wounded  mixing  with  the  water. 

"  My  boats'  crews  worked  manfully  and  succeeded  In  saving  many  of  the  wounde(', 
from  the  burning  ship.     One  man,  who  will  be  recommended  for  promotion,  clambered  j 
up  the  side  of  the  Vizcaya  and  saved  three  men  from  burning  to  death.    The  smaller 
magazines  of  the  Vizcaya  were  exploding  with  magnificent  cloud  effects.    The  boats! 
were  coming  alongside  in  a  steady  string,  ani  willing  hands  were  helping  the  laoera' 
ted  Spanish  oflScers  and  sailors  onto  the  Iowa's  quarter  deck.    All  the  Spaniards  \\ ere  I 
absolutely  without  clothes.   Some  h.ad  their  legs  torn  oft  by  fragments  of  shells.  Others  | 
were  mutilated  in  every  conceivable  way. 

"The  bottoms  of  the  boats  held  two  or  three  Inches  of  blood.  In  many  cases  dead] 
men  were  lying  In  It.  Five  poor  chaps  died  on  the  way  to  the  ship.  They  were  after- 
ward burled  with  military  honors  from  the  Iowa.  Some  examples  of  heroism,  or  more  I 
properlv.  devotion  to  discipline  and  duty,  could  never  be  surpassed.  One  man  on  the 
Vizcaya  had  his  left  arm  almost  shot  off  just  below  the  shoulder.  The  fragments  were 
hanging  by  a  small  piece  of  skin,  but  he  climbed  unassisted  over  the  side  and  saluted  as 
if  on  a  visit  of  ceremony.

HISTORICAL  EVENTS  OF  THE  YEAR  1898-Continiied. 

"Immediately  after  him  came  a  Htronff-hearted  Railor  whose  left  \eg  had  been  shot 
otT  above  the  knee.  He  was  hoisted  un  board  the  luwa  with  a  tackle,  but  never  a 
whimper  came  from  him.  Oradually  the  mani^rled  bodies  and  naked  men  ticcumulated 
until  it  would  have  been  almost  difficult  to  recogni/e  the  luwa  as  a  United  Htates 
battleship. 

"  Ulood  was  all  over  her  usually  white  <|uarterdeck,  and  272  naked  men  were  belnfr 
Hupplied  with  water  and  food  by  those  who  a  few  minutes  before  had  been  usinif  a 
rapid-tlre  battery  on  them.  Finally  came  the  boat  with  Capt.  Eulate,  commander  of 
the  Vizcaya,  for  whom  a  chair  was  lowered  over  the  side,  as  he  was  evidently  wounded. 
The  Captain's  guard  of  marines  Vas  drawn  up  on  the  quarterdeck  to  salute  him,  and  I 
stood  waiting  to  welcome  him. 

"  As  the  chair  was  placed  on  the  deck  the  marines  presented  arms.  Capt. 
Euhite  slowly  raised  himself  in  the  chair,  saluted  me  with  grave  dignity,  unbuckled  bis 
sword-belt  and,  holding  the  hilt  before  him,  kissed  It  reverently  with  tear.s  in  his  eyes, 
and  then  surrendered  it  to  me. 

"Of  course  I  declined  to  receive  it,  and  as  the  crew  of  the  Iowa  saw  this  they 
cheered  like  wild  men.  As  I  started  to  take  Capt  Eulate  into  the  cabin  to  let  the 
doctors  examine  his  wounds  the  magazines  on  board  the  Vizcaya  exploded  with  a  tre- 
mendous burst  of  flame.  The  captain,  extending  his  hands,  said,  '  Adios,  Vizcaya. 
There  goes  my  beautiful  ship,  captain,'  and  so  we  passed  on  to  the  cabin,  where  the 
doctors  dressed  his  three  wounds. 

"  In  the  meantime,  thirty  ofHcers  of  the  Vizcaya  had  been  picked  up,  besides  272  of 
her  crew.  Our  wardroom  and  steerage  officers  gave  up  their  staterooms  and  furnished 
food,  clothing  and  tobacco  to  the  naked  officers  from  the  Spanish  vessel.  The  pay- 
master issued  uniforms  to  the  naked  sailors,  and  each  was  given  all  the  corned  beef, 
coffee  and  hard  tack  he  could  eat.    The  war  had  assumed  another  aspect. 

'*  As  I  knew  the  crews  of  the  flrst  two  ships  wrecked  had  not  been  visited  by  any 
of  our  vessels,  I  ran  down  to  them.  I  found  the  Gloucester  with  Admiral  Cervera  and 
a  number  of  his  officers  aboard  and  also  a  large  number  of  wounded,  some  in  a  fright- 
fully mangled  condition.  Many  prisoners  had  been  killed  on  shore  by  the  tire  of  th»> 
Cubans.  The  Harvard  came  off  and  requested  Capt.  Cotton  to  go  In  and  take  uff 
the  crews  of  the  Infanta  Maria  Teresa  and  the  Almlrante  Oquendu  and  by  midnight 
the  Harvard  had  076  prisoners  aboard,  a  great  number  of  them  wounded. 

"For  courage  and  dash  there  is  no  parallel  in  history  to  this  action  of  the  Span- 
ish admiral.  He  came,  as  he  knew,  to  absolute  destruction.  There  was  one  single 
hope  -that  was  that  the  Cristobal  Colon  would  steam  faster  than  the  Brooklyn.  The 
spectacle  o*  two  torpedo-boat  destrovers,  paper  shells  at  best,  deliberately  steaming 
out  i -J  broad  aa,yllgbt  in  the  face  of  the  fire  of  a  battleship  can  be  described  In  one 
way— It  was  Spanish  and  it  was  ordered  by  Blanco.  The  same  must  be  said  of  the 
ertire  movement. 

"In  contrast  to  this  Spanish  fashion  was  the  cool,  deliberate  Yankee  work.  The 
American  squadron  was  without  sentiment,  apparently.  The  ships  went  at  their 
Spanish  opponents  and  literally  tore  them  to  pieces.  But  the  moment  the  Spanish 
flas?  oame  down,  It  must  have  been  evident  that  the  sentiment  was  among  the  Ameri- 
cans and  not  among  the  Spaniards. 

"I  took  Admiral  Cervera  aboard  the  Iowa  from  the  Gloucester  and  received  him 
with  a  full  admiral's  guard.  The  crew  of  the  Iowa  crowded  aft  over  the  turrets,  half 
naked  and  black  with  powder,  as  Cervera  stepped  over  the  side  bareheaded.  Over 
his  undershirt  he  wore  a  thin  suit  of  flannel  borrowed  fr><m  Lieutenant-Commander 
Wainwrlght  of  the  Gloucester.  The  crew  cheered  vociferously,  Cervera  was  every 
inch  an  admiral,  even  i^*  be  had  no  bat.  He  submitted  to  the  fortunes  of  war  with  a 
grace  that  proclaimed  him  a  thoroughbred." 

Captain  Evans  Is  intensely  proud  of  his  ship  and  her  men.  The  Iowa  flred  thirty- 
one  twelve-inch,  forty-eight  eight-Inch,  270  four-inch,  1,060  six-pound  and  120  one- 
pound  shots. 

The  officers  of  the  Viscaya  said  they  simply  could  not  hold  their  crews  at  the 
guns  on  account  of  the  rapid  fire  poured  upon  them.  The  decks  were  flooded  with 
water  from  the  fire  hose,  and  blood  from  the  wounded  made  this  a  dark  red.  Frag- 
ments of  bodies  fioated  in  this  along  the  gun-deck.  Every  instant  the  crack  of 
exploding  shells  told  of  new  havoc,  One  of  the  twelve-inch  shells  from  the  I<»wa 
exploded  a  torpedo  in  the  Viscaya's  bow,  blowing  twenty-one  men  against  the  deck 
above  and  dropping  them  dead  and  mangled  into  the  flre  which  at  once  started 
below. 

Tho  torpedo  boat  Ericsson  was  sent  by  the  flagship  to  help  in  the  rescue  of  the 
Viscaya's  crew.  Her  men  saw  a  terrible  sight.  The  flames  leaping  out  from  the 
huge  shot-holes  in  the  Viscaya's  sides  licked  up  the  decks,  sizzling  the  flesh  of  the 
wounded,  who  were  lying  there  shrieking  for  help.  Between  the  frequent  explosions 
there  came  awful  cries  and  groans  from  the  men  penned  in  below.  This  carnage  was 
chiefly  due  to  the  rapidity  of  the  Americans'  flre.  Corporal  Smith  of  the  Iowa  flred 
135  aimed  shots  iu  fift.y  minutes  from  a  four-inch  gun.  Two  shells  struck  within  ten 
feet  of  Smith  and  started  a  small  fire,  but  the  corporal  went  on  pumping  shots  into 
the  enemy,  only  stopping  to  say :    "They've  got  It  In  for  this  gun,  sir."

HISTORICAL  EVENTS  OP  THE  YEAK. 

JThe  prowess  of  the  American  Navy  has  undergone  a  change  since  Sunday,  May 
1st.  Admiral  Uewey  demonstrated  then  that  we  were  at  least  second, 
and  on  Sunday,  July  3,  Admiral  Sampson,  after  sinking  the  pride  of  Spain, 
Admiral  Cevera's  fleet,  off  the  Santiago  Harbor,  placed  us  in  the  front 
rank. 

JMr.  H.  S.  Washburn,  of  Worcester,  Mass.,  was  author  of  "The  Vacant 
Chair"  and  was  written  in  memory  of  Lieut.  Grout  of  the  15th  Mass.  In- 
fantry.   He  lost  his  life  at  Balls  Bluff,  Oct.  21,  1861. 

|The  largest  flag  in  the  world  is  "  Old  Glory,"  the  one  made  expressly  to  wave 
over  Morro  Castle,  Havana,  when  Spain  surrenders.  It  is  120  x  43 >^  feet. 
Special  bunting  was  made  for  it  and  is  42  inches  wide.  The  Union  is  40 
feet  in  length  and  in  width  covers  the  space  of  seven  stripes.  The 
stars,  from  point  to  point,  measure  14  inches.  A  patriotic  Wall  street  man 
had  the  flag  made.    Weight  250  pounds  ;  Cost  $300.     Long  may  it  wave.

HISTORICAL  EVENTS  OF  THE  YEAR. 

EaSkT  Sunday,  April  i5. 

Closin  ^  year  of  the  nineteenth  century. 

The  year  1900  is  not  a  leap  year  for  the  following'  reasons  : 

The  Gregorian  rule  of  intercalation  now  in  vogue  runs  as  follows  :  Every  yearl 
of  which  the  number  is  divisible  by  four,  without  a  remainder,  is  a  leap  year,! 
excepting  centesimal  years,  which  are  only  leap  years  when  divisible  by  fnutj 
after  suppressing  the  two  zeros;  thus  1600  was  a  leap  year,  1700  a. id  1800 1 
were  common  years,  and  1900  is  also  a  common  year.  The  year  2000  will  be| 
a  leap  year,  and  so  on. 

There  is  no  use  of  money  equal  to  that  of  beneficence;  here  the  enjoyment  grows] 
on  reflection. 

A  beneficent  person  is  like  a  fountain  watering  the  earth  and  spreading  fertility;! 
it  is.  therefore,  more  delightful  and  more  honorable  to  give  than  to  receive.-| 
Epicurus.

Cb«  mother  of  "OM  6lory." 

When  vou  sintj  of  "'["lie  Star-Spanirled  Banner," 

Of  our  colors,  -'Tlie  Red,  White'and  Blue," 
And  you  "  Rally  'round  the  old  fti\^,  l)oys," 

To  honor  our  iieroes  so  true. 
Don't  fort^et  to  trive  three  hearty  cheers,  hoys, 

And  lift  off  your  hats  for  a  toss, 
In  hi,i,di  honor  of  "  Old  (ilory''  "  mother — 

Colonial  dame,  Betsey  Ross. 

'Twas  her  fingers  so  deft  and  so  clever 

That  (ieneral  Washington  sought. 
When  he  wanted  the  hrst  flag  of  freedom 

By  the  best  of  needle-skill  wrought. 
She  had  henmied  all  the  fine  linen  ruffles 

That  on  his  shirt  bosom  he  wore, 
And  he  knew  that  her  work  would  do  honor 

To  the  banner  our  new  Nation  l)ore. 

Her  sliarp  scissors  cut  out  the  star  ])attern  ; 

She  measured  the  stripes  on  her  lap, 
As  she  sat  in  her  s])lint-bottomed  rocker 

In  her  clean  starched  kerchief  and  cap. 
With  most  careful  precision  she  Jiasted 

Thirteen  pure,  white  stars  on  the  blue. 
Then  felled  them  all  down  with  such  stitches 

As  proved  to  be  lasting  and  true. 

General  Washington  smiled  with  a(>proval 

When  the  work  was  finished,  and  there 
Was  unfurled  the  first  flag  of  our  Nation 

From  tlie  needle-skilled  dame's  sewing  chair, 
liut  in  the  long  march  that  liright  constellation 

Has  grown  larger  and  brighter  with  stars, 
W^hich  shine  witli  glory  resplendent, 

All  over  Its  red  and  white  bars. 

Our  world-honored  flagi  Let  it  rise,  let  it  rise 

All  over  our  country  to-day, 
W'hile  this  great  republic  in  reverence  liends 

To  the  God  of  our  Nation,  to  pray 
That  He  will  give  power  and  wisdom 

To  the  brave,  who  follow  its  lead 
That  the  chain  of  oppression  be  l)roken, 

A  long-sulTering  people  be  freed. 

—  [Siisdii  Teall  Perry  in  SUx'ldirUhje
